Djedkare Shemai (diedc. 2194 BC) may have been an ancient Egyptianking during theEighth Dynasty of theFirst Intermediate Period. His name is only attested on theAbydos King List, the primary source for identifyingseventh/eighth dynasties (combined). Djedkare Shemai is absent from theTurin canon as a large lacuna in this document affects most kings of the 7th/8th Dynasty.[2] No contemporary document or building with his name has been found.[1][3]
